Would you trade jobs with your significant other, girlfriend , boyfriend , or family member?

[Daniela1982]

Enquiring minds want to know.

[GoldenAxer]

No. I'm not good at what she's good at in her field of expertise (writer, editor, publisher) and she's not good at mine (scientist, mathematician, engineer). I have to help her do basic arithmetic when it comes to doing things like counting change for her in a transaction while she has to help me a lot with basic linguistics. We'd both be lost in each other's jobs.

[GoldenAxer]

For most of my family members, it is the same way. Their jobs are very specialized and not something I could just pick on the fly.

[Massageman]

Heavens, no! She's a counselor. It's impossible to believe (for example) that a wife who says one thing, and the husband who states the polar opposite, are actually married to each other and were describing the same situation! I'm perfectly content giving people massages.

Nah my husband is army and within his career there are less than 2% of women in it and I understand why since they do some extremely difficult training so no would never trade him. Only thing that would maybe be fun is jumping out of planes/helicopters so I guess I'd trade for one day to try that out.

I would join my boyfriend working on his business but I could never take something that he made his 😊 same goes for my fathers business

[Daniela1982]

You mean money that he made?

[kyleelyn199723]

Making your own business is your own personal project. I would never steal that away from my boyfriend or my father

[Daniela1982]

But two in the field are better than one and 2 heads are better than one. But this is of course if he wanted you to join him.

[kyleelyn199723]

I’m actually happy eventually he wants me to lol

[NYCQuestions1976]

Why would I want to be a professional narcissist over being an electrician?

[Daniela1982]

Why would you date a professional narcissist? What is in that for you? At least you get to give her the shock of her life.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk...

[Likes2drive]

Well my stepdad is retired so that would be nice to trade with

[Daniela1982]

Who wouldn't like that?

[exitseven]

My wife is a physical therapist. I would not mind at all doing that. She might not want to teach because we have already talked about it.

[Surely]

That would be a No! I am retired and she wants to keep working.

[Daniela1982]

Well she has to be younger than you then. Most people want to get away from the daily grind and take it easy.

[Surely]

@daniela1982 She is a year and a half older

[Daniela1982]

Then she must really like her job.

[Surely]

@daniela1982 She works with the elderly and really does like her job. Just not the supervisors!

[TallAnon]

I wouldn't trade jobs with anyone I have ever met.

[EaterPeter]

Nope
